All in one week's time, Dalanie, learned to ride her bike without training wheels, graduated from Preschool, and helped me create plant stakes for Mother's Day.
She had set a goal to learn to ride her bike without training wheels this summer. I practiced with her one day, but it didn't happen- she was too busy watching the neighbor boy over her shoulder and giggling. It wasn't until I was in a meeting and the neighbor got her to focus on balancing instead of him. She's picked it up rather quickly and only had a scrape or two.
She went down to the elementary school for one day a week to get some extra help on her speech. She enjoyed making art projects, getting speech "homework," and meeting new kids. Even though it was just once a week, she got to participate in their fancy graduation. She buried her head in my shoulder instead of reciting her nursery rhyme, Little Bo Peep. Maybe as a kindergartner she'll outgrow her timid-ness.
She was delighted with the opportunity to help me make a craft, 130, as a matter of fact. Rarely a day goes by that she doesn't make a decoration for the house, picture for me, or a project to keep her busy. She loves to be busy creating. And she stuck it out until the last one was glued together.
